Morton Livingston Schamberg (1881 - 1918) Bois du Bologne, Paris Executed circa 1900-05 Oil on panel 4 x 5.5 inches Signed verso Schamberg Ex-Collection: The first owner of this work Walter Pach played a major part in the organization of the famous International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known as the Armory Show. This event, held in New York, Chicago, and Boston in 1913, was the first large-scale exhibition to bring avant-garde European painting and sculpture to America, thereby changing the course of art in the United States. While living in Paris during the early 1900s, Pach became friends with several of the most advanced painters and sculptors of the time. He was instrumental in securing loans from such artists as Henri Matisse, Odilon Redon, Marcel Duchamp, and Constantin Brancusi and became, in essence, the European agent for the Armory Show. Through his work as a publicist, chief salesperson, and lecturer during the show's run in America Pach helped promote and disseminate the ideas of modernism to large audiences. During the course of the exhibition he met John Quinn and Walter Arensberg, individuals whom, through Pach's assistance, amassed two of the earliest and most significant collections of modern art in America
